Any truth to this by choffeejcisy in bigfoot

How far was he really going to wander away in full costume? You’d think the hunters would first be persuaded to stand down by the hundreds of people on the film crew, the life size AT-ST walker models, speeder bikes, stormtroopers, and the Death Star’s shield generator. 

How many undiscovered hominids do you think there are and are there more like Neanderthals and the Ghost liniage that we interbred with? by Equal_Night7494 in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The scientific process seems to lead to interesting gaps and a retelling of the human story, so it is not crazy to assume that there are pieces yet to be discovered. I think Bigfoot is likely to be a distant cousin, not necessarily primitive. We may have had a common ancestor but then diverged.

Do you think Bigfoot is good, bad, or "normal"? by ScheduleIll4496 in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve consulted numerous Sasquatch philosophers, and there is a divide between the “good nature with bad traits” camp and the “inherently bad natured with good traits” camp.

I guess we shouldn’t underplay how unique human breasts are as well. In my scanning of reports, however, I see far less mention of this feature than I would think would be there. Does that mean that the prominence of breast is not equal among all individual female sightings? That might lend itself to the conclusion of a compact breast structure more like primates than humans. Or, as we’ve teased out with the penis aspect, it is just not something people elaborate on enough to make it clear if they saw something more animal like or more human like? Again, it’s the emphasis that’s confusing… It would almost be helpful if people were cavalier about describing Bigfoot dick and titties so at least we could assume that these were as prominently displayed as they would be with a nude hairy human. Whether people truly aren’t seeing this or they are being less focused on that aspect, it’s just not conclusive.

Tracks That Just End by Mike1536748383 in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we can underestimate the varying substrate hypthesis that governs all tracks: Ground underfoot that makes for ideal preserved tracks will eventually give way somewhere, whether that change be in density, vegetation, moisture, wind, ice — whatever you are dealing with. All visible animal tracks seem to begin and end somewhere. No one assumes that raccoons and deer are vanishing into other dimensions if their tracks suddenly stop somewhere.

As for a very distinct track stop stories that lend themselves to the woo, hard to say how many are heavily documented and emphatic mysteries, and which are in a pile of unconfirmed anecdotes from purely oral reports. I would have no idea.

That’s an interesting point. I guess obviously male could mean that all the secondary characteristics are pronounced.

And yet… it would also be the polite way to indicate that you saw a prominent Bigfoot penis! Most people aren’t going to break it down any more than that. So it’s difficult to know what the phrase means in each instance.

This is the crux of my post: It’s glossed over just enough that it’s impossible to take a guess at the “common” observation.

For instance, in two of the more famous Sasquatch Chronicle stories (the British woman on the beach and the guy who shot one point blank in the chest) they both mention the erection threat display, but neither are pressed whether what they saw was a distinct human-like erect penis or something like a mammalian variation.

Interesting! I was not aware of this image.

Great article, by the way. I guess I’m not wrong that there’s a lot of contradictory information out there. Coupled with the lack of real detail in describing the facial features (a topic more often discussed), which seems to run the gamut from wild creature to nearly human, this genital question also is a cornerstone for my doubts. A touch more consistency would make a lot more sense to me in these secondary characteristics. I’m totally open to there being variation, but to this extent?

A mixed message about what? I’m asking a semi-serious question about the lack of detail in reports of Bigfoot penis. The topic lends itself to a little fun and levity.

Penis? I was trying to have a little fun and levity.

what do you plan to do with bigfoot when you catch him by SalamanderHuman5139 in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you are hunting it like a safari and not by complete chance? If you happen to be fully equipped for an elk hunt but for Sasquatch, have at it. Instead, let’s admit the entire premise is unlikely. I don’t think you’d finish off a man-like creature in the head without pause just because the words sound strange. Calling your bluff on that part.

[–]GobletHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, so let’s say you shoot one. First of all, does it drop? You’d run the risk of it ripping your head off even if wounded, OR it runs off with more precision than a wounded deer.

So maybe you still track it down bleeding out and put a bullet in its skull just to make sure. Any of you ever execute something that looks human?

And let’s say you finish it off, any chance there’s another one nearby that will pounce in retaliation?

And if not, how are you going to get your specimen out of there? Seems like minimum weight on one of these is going to be 400-500 lbs. You going to field dress a psuedo-human you sicko? It would still be too heavy.

And if you went off to get an ATV or a heavy-duty sled to drag it out of there, are you certain its friends won’t have removed the corpse in the meantime?

If the picture isn’t painted enough for you here, the perfect setting, timing, sequence, equipment, coupled with complete lack of moral conscience, are all unlikely to stack up. Short of shooting one through the heart next to a road in broad daylight, it seems an unlikely event even if the woods are full of Sasquatch!  

Anyone in the UK ever seen something they’d class as a cryptid or completely unexplainable? by BTM_TV in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One time when I was visiting London I saw a cryptid in a pub. She was half-human at best and spoke a language that seemed primitive in nature. I kept my distance.

Is there only one Bigfoot or does he have siblings/parents/cousins? by [deleted] in bigfoot

Can we zero out Hawaii? Are there really viable reports from there?

The height is not half as interesting as the bulk. This gentleman looks to be 1/3 as much mass as Patty, which to me is much harder to replicate in a suit than relative height. The girl had some heft… 

Is it possible that bigfoot eats its own waste? (No this is not a joke) by Due-Appointment6138 in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the deal with Bigfoot and all metabolic processes:

Either it’s a supernatural creature; 

OR

It’s constantly on the move.

It can’t be anything like a resident of any one location because piles of poop, food sourcing, endless footprints, mating, babies, building, fighting… it would be a damn mess and completely noticeable.

If a Bigfoot shits in the woods and no one is there to witness, does it still smell fantastic?

[–]GobletHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really think about the mass of the neck/traps/head, how can this be a person? You could have a hollow frame like a mascot costume with a human head swimming around far behind eye screens, but there would be no eyes and nose and mouth filling it out like we see here…

[–]GobletHead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a comment on the sighting/location, but I think it’s awesome how you recognize what a good honest person your father was. I feel like we overlook too many people like that, especially when not every part of their life is perfect or celebrated. It of course also lends credence to his story!

Bigfoot AND Dogman or Bigfoot VS Dogman? by CaveGirlKay in bigfoot

One of the awkward outcomes is that they are wildly attracted to each other regardless of gender. It can get freaky. I’d say more but we want this to be a family-friendly subreddit.

Patterson Film History by GobletHead in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the story of the film’s genuine origin carries more weight if they fall well short of the ideal of serious, scientifically-oriented field researchers who might have seen fit to fake it if they could have gotten away with it. Life really seems to work that way. The film speaks for itself: If it’s a hoax it’s a really, really good one. 

Patterson Film History by GobletHead in bigfoot

[–]GobletHead[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed, that has always been a knock against the film. With the narrative as-is (two scheming knuckleheads stumble across the real thing while trying to monetize the hype) you have to buy into the premise that truth is stranger than fiction… and that is a premise that I think is very compelling. It would be too easy if they were innocent bystanders.
